ADIsORDERLY MEETING.
Police and LabOrers Engage in q
Tustlc in New York.

New York, October 8th.-The Pro-
gressive Labor Party held meeting
tonight in Union Square to ratify
their state ticket. On reaching the
plaza they found the gas jets not
lighted. A bitter wrangle followed
over this and the refusal of the police
to allow their speaker to occupy the
platform. This was finally conceded
however, and a speech was made by
Shevilth, Hinton, Hall and others, de-
nouncins the action of the police.
While the speaking was in progress a
row occurred on the outskirts of the
crowd and the police attacked por-
ton of it, severely clubbing some.
There was a stampede of the crowd
and in minute the plaza was almost
deserted. Col. Hinton cried out,
"We will settle this in the courts"
The chairman called on the crowd TO
disperse peaceably and the meeting
adjourned.

THE FIDELITY BANK.
official Statement of its Assets
and Liabilities.

WASHINGTON, October S.-The Comp
troller of currency has received from
David Armstrong the receiver OF the
Fidelity National Bank of Gin
cinnatti the full schedules. He
places the nominal value of the
assets at upwards Of 100000 of which
more than half are classed as worth
less or doubtful. Apparently the valid
claims upon the bank proved and not
yet proved, are about 100000 while
there are amounts in dispute aggregat-
ing nearly $1.5OO.OO0. Subscriptions to
the increase of the capital stock amount
to ST. 1853 900 but less than half of this
amount was paid in money and even
if what was so paid should be finally
adjudged to constitute liability of re-
ceivershipit it will be nearly all offset by
the assessments ON the original stock.
THE LIABILITIES.
To depositors, are about $500, 900
of which little over $66, 900 appears to
be held locally. Banks and bankers
appear as creditors for more than
$4 100000 but some changes may be
made in these figures on account of
the doubtful value of assets and the
large claims in dispute. 1t is impossi-
BILE at present to make an estimate of
what dividends may be paid ulti-
mately.
PROBABLE DIVIDEND.
The assets in hand warrant present
dividend of 20 per cent, and the re-
ceiver has been instructed to prepare
checks and schedules at once.

SAN FRANcIsCo, October 8.--Attorney
Nygh who was one of the Counsel for
the defense of Little Pete" at the
time of the first trial is reported as
SAYING that when the jury was consid-
ering the verdict that Pete told him
that John Desback an attorney wanted
500. "He says the jury will be called
in at 6 O'Clock by the Judge and be
sent to dinner until o'clock and un-
less l pay 500 will be sent to jail. !"
Nvgh advised him not to pay the

fulfilled. Subsequently Joseph Cotfey
the prosecuting attorney and Danl.
Regensberger urged the attorney for
the defense to pay $3.50, saying that if
they did so the court would call in the

been maligned by Pete, and that he
never asked the latter for 500 or any
sum of money. Desback says that
Pete called at his house and asked
him to take up his case. Pete did not
talk about the fee but showed him
$4,000 in a sack. Desback declined to

BRITISH INDIA.
Agricultura' Report of the Con-
sul.General.

sul.General.
WASHINGTON, October 8.-The re-
port of ul-Geneval Bonham, at
Calcutta, British India, treats at
length the wheat interests OF that
country during the fiscal year ending
March 81, 1886. The area devoted to
wheat was about 2, 700 900 acres, and
the total yield 289,000,0O bushels.
AS compared with the wheat OF the
Pacific Coast, Indian wheat is inferior,
but when exported to Europe it is
mixed and ground with wheat OF su-
perior quality, by which process fair
rank and marketable grade OF flour
is obtained.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-10-09
PRIMITIVE METHODS.

The method of cultivating the soil
is in the main the same as it was a
century ago, and there seems to be
great difficulty in inducing the farmers
to invest in modern agricultural I'M
Die and primitive methods the Indian
farmer can, in the opinion of the Con-
sui General, successfully lvcompete with
those of the United States in the pro-
duction of wheat, by reason OF ex-
tremely cheap labor, etc.
THE EXPORT
of wheat from British India has in
creased from 800 900 cwt. in 1868 to
81 900 900 cwt. in 1886. The increase
of 1886 over 1885, amounts to about
five million cwt. furthermore, wheat
growing in India is but in it's infancy,
and its further development depends
principally upon the means OF trans
portation to seaboard.
